title: Small bowel obstruction and perforation attributed to tubo-ovarian abscess following 'D' and 'C'.
abstract: We report the case of a young woman who was admitted because of small bowel obstruction and localized peritonitis following a dilatation and curettage ('D' and 'C') of uterus in abortion. As infection, like tubo-ovarian abscess may complicate any abortion, it seems wise to ensure that it does not exist prior to performing a 'D' and 'C'.
